Immediate Supply of Guar Gum Available in the US

Sept. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- The guar gum market has experienced unprecedented demand during the last 24 months.  The increased demand for guar gum stems from the energy industry’s use of guar for horizontal drilling and well fracturing or “fracking”.  As overall demand for guar gum rose from 250,000 to 480,000 metric tons per year (350,000 metric tons for the energy industry alone) over the past 24 months, the price of guar gum increased as much as 1,600%.  The spot prices of guar seed and gum skyrocketed and touched their highest rate in May 2012 due to high export demand and low production of the commodity.  A small retreat in price occurred in July, 2012, but the outcome of the 2012 guar gum harvest is still not a certainty.

Celeritas Chemicals of Southlake, TX is a company that specializes in providing assistance to companies affected by these changes.   As part of these efforts, Celeritas Chemicals has entered into a supply agreement with one of the world's largest manufacturers of Guar Gum to provide a supply directly to the US market.
